The cryptocurrency market is set for a potentially record-breaking 2025, with analysts forecasting major milestones for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Steno Research predicts Bitcoin could soar past $150,000, while Ethereum might exceed $8,000, fueled by favorable economic conditions, increasing liquidity, and post-halving momentum.
Institutional interest is expected to hit unprecedented levels, with U.S.-based ETFs alone projected to attract $48 billion for Bitcoin and $28.5 billion for Ethereum.
Ethereum is anticipated to outperform Bitcoin, with its ETH/BTC ratio potentially doubling to 0.06.
This shift could usher in a strong altcoin season, reducing Bitcoin’s dominance from 57% to 45%, as tokens like Solana and other DeFi projects gain traction. Steno also suggests that Trump’s presidency could favor altcoins by encouraging robust on-chain activity.
Total value locked (TVL) in decentralized applications is expected to top $300 billion, far exceeding 2021’s peak of $180 billion. Industry leaders, including Grayscale, echo this optimism, citing a pro-crypto U.S. administration poised to position the country as a global blockchain leader.
With regulatory clarity and institutional adoption driving momentum, 2025 could redefine the future of digital assets.
Bitcoin could soon play an official role in Arizona’s public finance system. This week, state lawmakers approved the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, a bill that would allow up to 10% of treasury and retirement fund assets to be invested in digital assets like Bitcoin.
In a fresh move highlighting crypto’s rising momentum in traditional finance, 21Shares has set its sights on launching a Dogecoin-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.
Institutional hunger for Bitcoin is accelerating — and BlackRock is leading the charge.
